L98 Which Sensor?
1986 Alum head L98 - Which sensor is in the head below exhaust manifold on passenger side? It's not the one with the mushroom-type connector (Driver's side). It's the one with the tab-type connector.

For 1986, the sensor in the passenger side cylinder head, between cylinders #6 and #8, is the temp sensor for the dash temp read out. The coolant temp sensor for the ECM is located in the front of the intake manifold, pointing straight forward.

Temp Sensors and Switch
Keep in mind that the Coolant Temp Sensor sends a signal to the ECM which controls the main cooling fan by way of the relay coil. The ECM turns on the main fan. If you have the heavy duty cooling package, the switch turns on the the secondary fan and does not go through the ECM.
If you need more information let me know.
